Fort Wayne Community Schools - Student Enrollment Forms

Fort Wayne Community Schools welcomes all students. Students are assigned to a school based on residence, but as a district of choice, parents can also choose another school within the district. Transfers are approved based on space availability. Enrollment forms as well as School Assignment (Transfer) Applications can be found on this page. Transportation is provided to students outside of established radiuses from each school. Transportation is not provided to students who transfer to another school, except those enrolled in a magnet school or a Program of Study.

Lottery applications for 2018-19 will be accepted starting November 1st and due by December 15th.

Enrollment Forms to be Completed for All Students

Comprehensive health history. Individual HealthCare Plans should be in place for students with Asthma, Diabetes, Seizures, Food Allergies, Insect Sting Allergies, Cancer, Hemophilia and other health conditions. Many plans require physician's signatures so contact your school nurse as soon as possible to complete the plans. Plans should be completed and in place before the first day of school.

Living Outside FWCS

Students who live outside FWCS boundaries may attend FWCS schools, based on a school's space availability. A tuition payment may be required. Fees are set in August, and may vary from year to year due to changes in public school funding by the State of Indiana. FWCS has the authority (by law) to deny a request for transfer* if the applicant has been suspended or expelled during the 12-month period preceding the transfer application for the following reasons:

Suspension for ten (10) or more school days;

For a violation under I.C. 20-33-8-16 (firearms, deadly weapons or destructive devices);

For causing physical injury to a student, school employee or school visitor;

For a violation of a school's drug or alcohol rules; or

When the applicant is ineligible to enroll during a period of expulsion or proposed expulsion under I.C. 20-33-8-30.

*This does not apply to any FWCS intra-district transfers (IDT).

Any non-FWCS student residing outside of the district's boundaries petitioning for a transfer into FWCS must have all the following materials returned to Student and Family Support Services:

Student and Family Support Services will be responsible for requesting and retrieving the applicant's records from the previous school.
